Creating a Custom Shortcut for Facebook

In this mini-tutorial, you create a custom shortcut named Sound.

You provide values for the descriptive fields of the Facebook post as follows:

  • Wall Message:Just keeping the college community connected.

  • Wall Name: Valley Community College

  • Caption: Sounding Off

  • Description: Heard on campus this week! Authentic audio from fellow students. Plus a wry written commentary.

The format for sending pages is always Pencast.

  1. Click Add Shortcut.
  2. Enter a name for the shortcut. In this example, enter: News.
  3. Click the down-arrow in the Connector column and select the Facebook Connector.

    The Name text box appears, followed by Message, Caption, Description links.

  4. Enter a Wall Name. Then add text for Message, Caption, and Description as specified above.
  5. Select My Wall from the Post To dropdown menu. If you have a friend who won't mind getting a test message from you, select that friend's name from the dropdown menu as well.
  6. Click Save.
